Talk:Lynx Blue Line/Archive 1

Merge proposal LYNX Blue Line -> LYNX Rapid Transit Services
Hi, we've had this same talk on the METRORail page, which is also a system with one completed line and many more planned. This article shouldn't be here because, as of now, there is no distinction between LYNX Rapid Transit Services and LYNX Blue Line. There's no consistent principal to differentiate them, and if someone made one, it would be tantamount to original research. When a second line has been built, we can start to make differences between the Blue Line and LYNX. Until then, this article should be removed and redirect.--Loodog (talk) 14:24, 22 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I understand where you are coming from with this, but IMHO the Blue Line does merit a separate article independent of the larger LYNX Transit Services. I believe this is the case in the LYNX Transit Services is the division of CATS that operates the Blue Line. Additionally, the other services will include commuter rail, streetcars and BRT operated by LYNX, and each of these has a separate article already. I've stated my piece, and will be respect any consensus that is made, but do believe there is a difference between the two with each meriting their own article.

 * Yes, but the key word you used there was will. When it becomes appropriate to split the article off, we'll do it.


 * In terms of the difference between the infrastructure and the agency running it, no transit article bothers to split off the subagency responsible for a particular mode from the article describing that mode's infrastructure.


 * But, if it is your position that the present difference between the Blue Line and LYNX is that LYNX operates the Blue Line, then we need to completely redo the LYNX Rapid Transit Services article to adhere to this. Instead, that article has infrastructure history, ridership info, infrastructure artwork and all sorts of other things that art NOT describing a transit agency.  Under this position, LYNX should describe only the agency while all history, ridership, rail features, and infrastructure should be in the Blue Line page.  What we have now is redundant and inappropriate.--Loodog (talk) 15:48, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
